@ -121,9 +121,9 @@ When computing the standard deviation of :math:`X`, we have:
.. math::
s^2=\frac{\sum_{i=0}^n (x_i-\overline{x})^2}{n}
In this case, the degree of freedom is :math:`n-1`. As the mean is already known, only :math:`n-1`
of the :math:`x_i` are allowed to vary. In fact, by knowing :math:`n-1` of the :math:`x_i`, we can deduce the last
one as follow:
In this case, the degree of freedom is :math:`n-1`.
As the mean is already known, only :math:`n-1` of the :math:`x_i` are allowed to vary.
Otherwise, the mean changes. In fact, by knowing :math:`n-1` of the :math:`x_i`, we can deduce the last one as follow:
.. math::
\overline{x}=\frac{(\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} x_i) + x_n}{n} \Longrightarrow x_n = n\overline{x} - (\sum_{i=1}^{n-1} x_i)
